When Howard Molton and his wife, Barb, had to purchase a brand-new $60,000 digital projector last year in order to keep Flat Rock Cinema in business, the community pitched in a hand to help with the cost.

Now the Moltons want to show their appreciation, and what better day to do so than Super Bowl Sunday?

Flat Rock Cinema will be hosting a free Super Bowl party for the community for this year's game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.

Game time is 6:30 p.m. Feb. 3, and the doors to the cinema will open at 5:30.

"We usually use the Super Bowl viewing as a fundraiser for the Red Cross, but they ran out of time to organize and staff the event this year. So, we decided we would just throw a community appreciation event," Howard Molton, owner of Flat Rock Cinema, said. "We want people to see this new projector and the image that it puts out on our 18-foot wide screen. The Morris Broadband feed is in high definition, so it's crystal clear. It provides a better picture and sound quality than we've ever had. It's just amazing to look at, because it is the latest in digital technology. We want to show the community what they helped us accomplish with this projector."

Admission is free, and the cinema's complete food and beverage menu, including beer and wine, will be available for purchase. All the information about the cinema, including the menu and also driving directions, is available at FlatRockCinema.com.

There are 75 seats available, and reservations are required. They can be made by calling the cinema at 697-2463.
